When my BF casually mentioned his frat brother owned this place, you know I immediately had to do a deep dive on Yelp. The food pics and reviews totally passed the vibe check, so in we went. We were greeted by Ann (I hope I'm spelling that right!), who hails from Eastern Washington and gave us the absolute warmest welcome to the restaurant. I already had my heart set on the perch after seeing the photos. I hadn't tasted real perch since I was a kid back home. So the second our server, Kim, stopped by, I was ready to pounce on that perch basket. Now, if you happen to follow my reviews, you already know I am a card-carrying French fry fanatic. Let me tell you, I was beyond pleasantly surprised by how good the fries were! And the perch? Absolutely knock-your-socks-off fantastic. It tasted just like home--tender, piping hot, seasoned to the absolute gods, and incredibly fresh. Indianapolis keeps surprising me at every single turn, especially when it comes to soul food. His Place is a total winner and an absolute must-try! Return Factor: 90% (and that's basically 100% in my book!)

I knew I wanted to try the vegetable plate because all the vegetables sounded good. I knew I wanted the sweet potatoes and creamed corn. I asked her what third vegetable to get and she suggested the mac and cheese. So I ordered the mac and cheese. I also ordered some peach butter to go with my cornbread. This was honestly the thing I was the most excited about. I was so hungry I forgot to take pictures of my vegetables. The sweet potatoes were my favorite. The perfect amount of sweetness. The corn wasn't my favorite. I think it just had too much going on. Lots of competing flavors. The mac and cheese was decent. The star of the show was that peach butter. It was so nicely whipped with real pieces of peach. Absolutely delicious! I ordered more cornbread because I had some butter left over. I want to come back when it's not 90 degrees out so I can enjoy a more hearty meal.

We got pulled pork, sausage, and brisket. It came with two sides. We got the green beans and pasta salad. It was $28.75. Your meal comes with free cheddar garlic biscuits with a side of apple butter. The pulled pork with some of the best we have ever had. The brisket was good as well, flavored nicely. We received three large pieces, however, there was quite a bit of fat on the pieces. We received two sausage links. The sausage was slightly spicy, which we like. However, of the three meats it was our least favorite. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. She recommended the green beans. Her description of them was right on target and they were very good. Service was very fast and our bill was accurate. They are first come, first serve, and do not accept reservations. We would return again.

The primary issue was our service. While she was friendly, decent windows of time seemed to pass between her visits. She also did not provide us with utensils/napkins, as my wife requested them from the bar after our meals arrived, nor plates for our shared appetizer items. The food was very good, for the most part, as we continue to enjoy their Baked White Bean Hummus ($14) and the Greek Goddess Salad ($17) is excellent. I also do like their Fries ($3.50), as they are seasoned well with a nice exterior crunch, although it seemed like we had been given the bottom of the basket as a good bit of our order was crumbs. Drinks were OK. My wife wishes they offered a dry cider option, but their A&E Fleeting Youth ($7) consistently tends to be the closest to that offering. While I realize it's summer, I prefer porters and stouts that are on the sweeter side as opposed to coffee-esque. But the only option was their Into the Void, which I thought leaned into a coffee flavor, so I chose their King of Troy ($6.50), which was a decent lager. So I continue at 4 stars, in hopes our next visit will have service with a bit more awareness, fries from the top of the basket, and some of their other beer options that hit the spot in the past.

Dined here with my wife once and did carryout once. Here are my observations:…read more Service: -waitress on our visit was personable and attentive -carryout order was ready when I arrived and checkout was smooth -on both occasions, all items were received as ordered Ambiance: -you have to navigate some steep steps after you enter the door to reach the place, so could be a challenge for some -interior is dark, which when the sun peers through the windows it can be a challenging contrast on the eye -walls are filled with various decoration. appreciate the Chicago-vibe, but it's a little busy visually Food: (Visit #1) -not a lot of options for non-meat eaters (which my wife is) -we split the Spicy Cheese Curds ($11), which I believe were simply fried pepper jack cheese cubes (a generous portion) that came with a side of ranch. It had a kick, so it was what it said it would be. -we also split a Cheese Pizza ($17) on their regular crust. the cheese was generously applied, sauce was OK, the crust was subpar and not something we would order again (Visit #2) -Bavarian Pretzel Sticks ($12) come as an order of 4 lightly salted sticks with sides of nacho cheese and honey mustard. The sticks are among the better pretzel offerings I have had. Not the best (that would be 101 craft kitchen and Red Front), but definitely better than average. -Da Beef ($14) was a nice portion of beef. Because I was doing carryout, I got the sauce on the side. -the sandwich came with a side of their in house chips, which I really liked. they aren't seasoned if that's your thing, but I simply appreciate a fresh made potato chip and they were that Overall, if you like meat, it's probably on their menu and I'm guessing will scratch your itch. If you're not a meat-eater, it probably won't appeal. If stairs aren't your thing, it could be a dealbreaker unless there's another route I don't know of.

I paused to look at their outdoor menu they had set up and checked out their desserts. Lo and behold they had chocolate mousse, my husband's fave! Since it also happened to be his birthday, we made a plan to come back after our dinner reservation at another restaurant. We stuck to that plan at around 8 PM, before they're closing at 9 PM. We walked in to a charming, lovely and cozy atmosphere. It had just rained so the ambience was perfect. We sat down right away and was greeted by Justin, who was outstanding as our server. My husband ordered the chocolate mousse, and I took a chance on the Pavlova, which I had seen many times before on the great British bake off. I had always wanted to try it. We also ordered decaf French press, coffee, and it was also delicious. The desserts both came with Chantilly cream made in house and it was impeccable. We. We both loved our desserts. The Pavlova was a light meringue with lemon curd inside garnished with fresh berries. I was worried that it would be sweet too sweet, but it was not. The chocolate mousse was thick and chocolatey and the ratio of Chantilly cream was perfect. Now that we've come here for breakfast and dessert, we must come back for dinner. Again, Justin, our server was just lovely and personable and made the evening even more memorable.

That's the perfect description for this gem. The wait staff are excellent and the bar does not disappoint! Happy hour runs 3-6pm and I stopped in for a drink and a bite. The rotating cocktail menu featured a "Gin on the Barb." Local gin mixed with a rhubarb liqueur and mint was a tasty yet dangerous beverage for an 83 degree day. If you have a chance to try the Oeufs Mimosa (deviled eggs) do not miss the opportunity though the charcuterie is an experience as well. For dinner I suggest trying the beef bourguignon. It will change your life. It's not necessarily simple but it done very very well.

From the moment we checked in with the host stand we were impressed! We were quickly seated and greeted. Jonaz was our server and he was incredible- he made so many recommendations for us, pointed out what's popular, what he loves and explained more about the flavors working together on the menu than would meet the eye! We also got to see Pascal, one of the managers while we were there! If you frequented Patachou in Clay Terrace...you know Pascal! We enjoyed an incredible cheese board to start our meal! Fantastic drinks- as someone who is currently pregnant I LOVED that they had mocktails that were not super sweet, that seems to be tough for a lot of places to get on the menu! We also started with the Yeast Rolls which sound so simple but were incredible. Moving on we had the Harvest Salad- I had never had pickled rhubarb and it was such a great addition. The black tea vinaigrette was amazing, fresh and light- the team in the back of the house knows what they are doing and is putting the work in on creating a perfectly curated menu with flavors that WORK! For entrees I had the Foraged Mushroom Bucatini with salmon added and my husband had the New York Strip. It's been a minute since we've been somewhere that's served a perfectly cooked steak on the first shot and this was edge to edge perfectly medium rare for him. We shared a side of the Spring Green vegetables- I'll dream about them, they were amazing. Jonaz helped my husband pick out a glass of wine to compliment his entree and knocked it out of the park. Now I'm telling you- you're going to want to eat all your food but you have to save room for dessert! How can you come and not try any ice cream?! We had the strawberry ice cream to split and it was a great end to our meal. I will say as we were leaving we saw a server walk by with a Toffee Crumble Sundae (I think that's the name) and let's just say that next time...we'll be trying that! We will 100% be back!

Yats absolutely lives up to the hype…read more I went with the classic half-and-half: Chili Cheese Crawfish Étouffée and the Drunken Chicken. After a few bites, I knew I wasn't leaving with just one meal. Before I walked out, I ordered another half-and-half to go--Smoked Sausage Gumbo and Chorizo Étouffée--for tomorrow's lunch. That's about the highest compliment I can give a place. This is exactly the kind of restaurant I love stumbling across. Casual, unpretentious, and full of personality. The walls are covered with photos of regulars, local memories, and just enough Cajun character to make the place feel lived in rather than decorated. The service was equally memorable. The GM seemed to know half the people walking through the door by first name. Between offering samples, making thoughtful beer recommendations, and genuinely enjoying conversations with customers, it felt less like ordering dinner and more like being welcomed into someone's neighborhood spot. It's refreshing to find a place that's so confident in what it serves. No gimmicks. No unnecessary twists. Just bold, comforting Cajun food done exceptionally well. I was honestly tempted to steal a sticker or some piece of memorabilia on my way out--just to remember the stop--but I'll settle for planning my next visit the next time work brings me back to Indianapolis. Yats has officially earned a permanent spot on my travel list.
